BACKGROUND
Pursuant to State law, the California minimum wage will increase to $17.40 effective January 1, 2027. To avoid compaction issues, staff recommends updating the entire part-time salary schedule to reflect the three (3) percent increase in minimum wage and keep the five (5) percent step differential. The attached Resolution updates the part-time salary schedule to reflect the changes required by the minimum wage increases, as well as salary adjustments to eliminate salary compaction.
Adoption of the attached resolution will adjust the salary schedule as indicated in Exhibit “A” attached to the Resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the proposed changes outlined in the attached Resolution is approximately $46,200 of which $36,500 will be charged to General Fund part-time wages, Account No. 40020; $1,200 to the Water Fund part-time wages, Account No. 40020; $3,200 to the Internal Service Funds part-time wages, Account No. 40020; and $5,300 to the Special Revenue Funds part-time wages, Account No. 40020 for a full year. No adjustment is requested at this time as the increases were anticipated in the approved budget. If a budget adjustment is needed later, it will be brought back to the City Council for approval.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed as to form.
CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to adopt the proposed Resolution to update the City of Westminster Salary Schedule for Part-Time employees.
